It's only taken five movies, but Sharknado is finally washing up on UK shores.

The Syfy mockbuster series is going global for this year's sequel as our world's greatest heroes Ian Ziering and Tara Reid fight man-eating storms in the UK, Australia… and Bulgaria of all places.

If you've been hoping Sharknado 5 will be the cheesiest sequel yet, a brand new plot synopsis should definitely strike your fancy.

Syfy teases: "With much of North America lying in ruins, the rest of the world braces for the inevitable - a global sharknado. Fin Shepard (Ian Ziering) and his family must put a stop to this disaster before Earth is completely obliterated."

With the announcement that a Sharknado will finally make landfall in the UK, we just have to ask: what took so bloody long? After all, this franchise literally went to space before crossing the pond!

We're expecting a cast full of UK eccentrics now that our time has finally come. We're talking Nikki Grahame, David Icke, the Chuckle Brothers, Dirty Den Watts, Shaun Ryder and Scotty T at minimum!

And, of course, a reunion for Celebrity Big Brother buddies (and previous Sharknado co-stars) Jedward and Tara Reid is just too good to pass up!

Sharknado 5 will terrorise US screens on Syfy later this year. Digital Spy has reached out to Syfy UK to see when we'll be getting the sequel.
